Works well with Windows 8 Pro

Very smooth movement. Just adding this as information - this works well with Windows 8 Pro ; Here's a tip though, run the Powermate software in "Administrator" mode. That way, you will not lose focus in other apps, and it will work with full screen...

Sadly, this appears to be discontinued so I don't think we will be seeing any driver updates

Works with Win7

I use this as a volume knob. If you plan to do the same you need to add all the audio programs into the powermate software and run it at all times. Not hard, only took 15 minutes to set up

Griffin website says it is not compatible with Windows 7 ; But they are wrong.... Just download this software ; PowerMate for Windows, version 2.0.1 for XP & Vista ; Download 1.78 MB ; You can find it on their website under "support" and "powermate

None so far

works great for teleprompting

I use a software called MirrorScript Pro, and I am able to control the scroll speed, the direction, pause, etc. If anyone else is using this software, be aware that only the newer version of the software works on XP. It's odd I know, but the older...

I purchased this for the main purpose of controlling a teleprompting software. As long as the software allows keyboard inputs to control the screen, this unit is capable of being programmed, and it works great. Love the blue LED

I've also tried using this with media player, and it works okay. If you try to skip to the next song, depending on the sensitivity setting, you may skip over multiple songs. And there's no option (that I could find) to fast forward the song

Great product

Be sure you don't have any other audio interfacing applications installed or tuning the volume with this will lag. I had to uninstall Microsoft's intillitype and then volume control worked wonderfully.

Great weight, doesn't slide and is lots of fun! I love that they included a USB extender cable as the cable connected to the Powermate is rather short. Does work with Windows 7 even though Griffin's site doesn't list it as supported. Just install the...

The box this comes in is junk. Makes it a little tough to get out of the package, mine practically shattered due to how poor it was

Does what I am looking for. Heavy enough so it does not slide on the table. Brush aluminum feels great.I use this for browsing the Internet, reading email, and most importantly...mixing music via D-A-W.D-A-W was my original desire when I first saw this...
